TAILOR/S PIN.

Application filed June 30,

My invention relates to a new and improved tailors pin, designed andconstructed with the object, among other things, oi producing a pin fortailors testing Work that may be quickly applied without diserrangingthe cloth, will not injure the fingers, and can be manufactured and soldat the mininnnn cost.

To these, and other ends, my invention consists in the tailors pin,having such details of construction as are hereinafter described andmore particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, in which like numerals of reference designatelike parts in the several figures;

gure 1 is a front view of my improved P Fi ure 2 is a side view thereof;and

.Figure 3 is a view illustrating the pin being applied to a piece ofcloth.

'llns pin is constructed with a leg 1119,111- ber 10, having a pointedend 11 and slightly curved lengthwise, a ,ElIHClG bar 12 substan tial yparallel with the leg member but much shorter in length terminating atone end in n linger loop 13, and connected at the opposite end with theleg member 10 by the head portion 1 This entire pin made of a singlepiece of wire and is placed in the cloth by grasping the linger loop 13between the thumb and second. linger to guide and weave the leg;ineuiber therethrough, the operation bein assi. ed by the first linger,against the head portion ll.

In Figure 3 I have illustrated the relative position. of the lingersjust described. With the common type oil pin the body thereof isstraight and has a comparatively small head 1928. Serial No. 289,492.

upon the end thereof, is dillicult to insert on account of the straightbody, and the size of the head is such that before many pins areinserted the end of the finger becomes tender and sore. With this pinthe curved leg readily enters the cloth, designated 15, and it isapplied with great ease and without liability of injury to the lingersbecause the pressure is applied to a head of very large area.

The head portion 14 also serves as a stop of substantial size to preventthe cloth being: damaged by too great pressure upon the pin after it hasbeen projected into the cloth its full length.

Having described my invention, what I claim new and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is:

1. A pin constructed of a single piece of Wire, having a curved legpointed at one end; a guide bar substantially parallel with and joinedto the leg b' an intermediate head portion upon one siue thereof thatlies at substantially a right angle to the leg and guide bar; and alinger loop upon the end of the guide bar.

2. A pin constructed of a single piece of Wire, having acurved legpointed at one end; a guide bar substantially parallel with and shorterthan the leg member; a. linger loop at one end. of the guide bar; and ahead portion connecting the leg and guide bar, the head portion being atsubstantially a right angle thereto and projecting laterally upon oneside thereof.

In testimony whereof, I have hereuntoa'llixed my signature.

PIETRO TORELLI.
